“Five hundred bucks! You can’t spend that much money on a balloon! It’s crazy.”
“It’s our anniversary babe. No expense spared. Plus I had some money put back. Don’t worry. We’re golden.” It had only been a month but she’d see. It would be perfect! Then she’d say yes. We’d be together forever. I was sure of it. Ignoring the look in her eyes, I stroked the velvet box in my pocket and imagined our future. Her words barely penetrated my reverie.
“We need to talk. I’m sorry … I can’t …. Maybe you can still get your money back.”

That’s what happens when people neglect that anniversary literally means an annual occasion. If your scorned lover waited the full term, they may have spared some expense.

That last line was ominous. I hope the ring fits the true love that he finds (and that he got a refund 🙂 )

Sounds like they weren’t on the same page. Or in the same balloon.

I think it was really good she told him before they were in the air. She may have gotten tossed over in the heat of the moment.
